[users@httpd] error on startup: could not log pid to file /var/run/httpd.pid tpd.pid

[Terrence Brannon <metaperl.httpd@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,
1 - my errorlog states:

[Sat Dec 03 05:17:02 2005] [error] httpd: could not log pid to file /var/run/httpd.pid

so my first question is: is this error fatal? or did Apache continue to
startup? Is there a verbose mode for apache startup that would make
this clear to me?


2 - I dont understand why the Order directive was rejected. DId I need to load something for this to work?

3 - Here is my httpd.conf. I just want to get the server going for starters.
